[ Compulsion is shit, no matter which side of it you're on. There's nothing he can do to slow the man except to physically hold him still. With a normal attacker, he could slow them without doing permanent damage with a good stomp to the inside of the foot. but that doesn't work with someone who's being compelled. Pain won't slow them. Nothing short of broken bones will, and not even those sometimes, he'll be acting at the very limits of his body's capabilities. All he can really do is hold the man still until Alucard is at the car and to curse what had at the time seemed like a sound plan of 'it's a nice day, let's not worry about parking too close'.
Once he thinks he's given Alucard enough time to make distance, he lets go of the attacker, shoving him back to make some distance himself and giving chase. He catches up with Alucard as he's getting into the car, snatching the keys out of his hands and pulling the seatbelt over him. Because Seatbelts Are Important. Even now. ]
I'm driving. That okay?
[ It's kind of a stupid question, and he doesn't wait for an answer before tumbling into the driver's seat, attending to his own seatbelt as he turns the key and sets off. ]
